Rahi Lascivus

Chapter 22

Rahi

Lunch break ended 20 minutes ago, and the people who were involved in the incident earlier are here.

Including a bruised and bandaged nose Lionel. We're waiting for his parents to come, as for our party naman, Yoj didn't bother to call her parents nor Xeah's.

5 minutes had passed, and they entered the Principal's office. Galit at nag-aalala sa kanilang anak.

Napatayo si Ma'am Zacarias agad at sinalubong ang ina ni Lionel. The Vice Governor glared at the Principal, sinulyapan niya din kami. Bago paman makapag salita si Ma'am Zacarias, dumiretso ang ina ni Lionel sa kanya.

Kasunod nito ang kanyang ama, tiningnan nila si Lionel.

"Can't believe you lost to a girl." Narinig kong bulong ng ama ni Lionel. Inirapan pa siya ng asawa niya, at natawa lang ng bahagya ang ama ni Lionel.

"Sinong may gawa sa'yo nito?" Tanong ng kanyang ina. Nakita kong napangisi si Lionel sa'kin. Muntik na akong mapairap. Tinuro niya naman ako, napalingon ang kanyang mga magulang sa gawi ko.

"Okay, sit down first and let's talk about this in a calm manner."

Naupo naman ang mag-asawa sa tabi ng kanilang anak. Habang kami lang tatlo nila Marceline at Yoj ang nakaupo sa harap ng couch nila. Nakatayo ang apat sa likod namin.

Tumikhim muna si Ma'am Zacarias bago nagsalita. "Ano ba ang nangyari kanina? Bakit humantong sa ganito ang lahat?"

Walang sumagot.

"Why asked them, Ma'am? My son is clearly the victim here." Lionel's mom was furious, yet she talked calmly. I hope I got that attitude. Galit ka na pero hindi mo pinapahalata. Sana lahat.

"Mrs. Asuncion, you're a mother and I clearly understand what you feel. However, honorifics aside, your son made Rahi snapped. Hindi naman siguro mangyayari ito, kung walang ginawa ang anak ninyo." Ma'am Zacarias said. Trying to hold her patience.

"Mukhang kinakampihan mo yata ang babaeng 'yan Ma'am Zacarias?"
Napataas ang kilay ni Vice Gov.

Truth be told, I'm not afraid. I trust Yoj that she could handle this. She said so herself.

"Where are your parents Miss whoever you are? Siguro, hindi ka nila pinalaki ng tama"

I clenched my hand into a fist. But Marceline held it, so I relaxed.

"Mrs. Asuncion, pardon me for interrupting your outburst. But Mr. Rohan Lascivus couldn't make it. As you know, he is a busy man."

Yoj didn't even bat an eye while saying those. Napalingon ako sa mga kaibigan namin. Luci and Xeah were just calm, however Stacey and Shannon were throwing me questioning looks.

Napangiti nalang ako sa kanila.

Bumaling ako sa harapan, I could see Lionel's mom stiffened at the name of the man I despise the most. Even I, couldn't bear hearing his name.

"R-rohan Lascivus?" Nauutal niya pang tanong, tila kinukumpirma ang narinig.

"I am very sorry to what my son had done to cause you to snap, Miss Lascivus." Biglang sumabat sa usapan ang ama ni Lionel.

"What?! Pero Dad she hurt me–"

"I-I am very sorry Miss Lascivus. H-hindi na mauulit." The Vice Governor suddenly apologized, cutting off Lionel mid sentence.

Narinig ko namang napasinghap sila Stacey at Shannon.

"Lionel! Apologize, now." Utos ng ama ni Lionel, 'yung uri ng utos na napapasunod ka kapag ama mo na ang nagsabi.
